Back seat

[thomasfergus]

I was wondering how you fold down the back seat of a 1997 Pontiac grand am. Is there a special way to do it?

If your car doesnt have the little pull releases hanging in the trunk then you can't. Well you can, if you look in the trunk, near the top, where you can see the speakers, you will see three little hook things sticking through, these hold the seat on, if you want, and i caution you, they will break if bent too much, you can bend these up and the seats will fold down. But you will be bending the bottom part as well. So yea if there arent little realeases hanging from the top of your trunk, you cant.

The fold down rear seat was an option, your car may not be equipped with it. Use caution if you are going to fold down the seat if it is not the actual folding rear seat option
